The marriage is not over yet, but the honeymoon is on first.

After completing the last task of the acting dean, Tian Wenjian accompanied his second daughter to start a tour of the mountains and rivers. After a day and a half of sightseeing in Jingnan, I immediately rushed to Shanghai by car. After sending Xiaolan to school, she accompanied Xiao Na on a two-day tour of China's largest city.

Considering the limited vacation and the fact that his family was looking forward to their return, Tian Wenjian had to end the tour and hurriedly climbed into the bus with Xiao Na to his hometown.

Binnan County is the most remote county in Province A, located at the junction of three provinces, and its economic conditions are extremely backward. Because of this, there are many people who go to Shanghai to work, and the long-distance buses that run every two days are always full. In order to bring a few more people, the driver also added seats in the aisle.

Although it is more expensive to buy a ticket at the station, it also has the advantage of being expensive, at least there is a decent seat. Still, the carriage was crowded, filled with vulgar swearing, unbridled jokes, and pungent smells.

"I knew this was the case, so I drove back." Tian Wenjian gave Xiao Na an apologetic smile and pushed the car window open a small slit, for fear that the smell of the car would smoke the lover.

Xiao Na shook her head slightly, snuggled up to his arm, covered her mouth and chuckled: "It's okay, this is called a plain and bland thing." She smiled affectionately, and in an instant, she was full of charm.

Tian Wenjian was throbbing for a while, and was about to say something when the bus stopped. A few passengers who had been waiting on the side of the road for a long time to save some fares rushed to get into the car.

"Old man, get to the side, don't squeeze me! Look at your dirty appearance......"

A young woman, dressed in fashion, with long curly hair and a strong smell of perfume, covered her nose in disgust and shrieked at the old man, forcing the old man sitting next to her to stay away.

"That's it, rags, what's the door? Pollute the environment! ”

A woman with big eyes and long false eyelashes sitting next to her long curls also frowned and echoed with disdain. The false eyelashes made her originally youthful face lose its due vitality.

It can be seen from the old man's expression that he also wants to keep a certain distance from the two fashionable girls, and seems to know that he is such a bad old man, and he is really sorry for the audience in terms of image, and he should consciously avoid contact with people, especially the beautiful lady. However, in this crowded carriage, he really couldn't move...... Xiao Na couldn't understand Binnan's words, so she couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Husband, what do they say?" ”

Listening to the accent is a fellow countryman, Tian Wenjian was very embarrassed, so he hurriedly turned his head away, and said casually: "It's nothing, I didn't sleep well last night, I slept on my arm, and I was still far away from home." Cortana blushed and plunged into his arms, smelling her boyfriend's body and her heart pounding.

"yes, I hate it. Now in this world, it's really amazing, everyone wants to take advantage of beautiful women. Hehe, maybe, this old man is still an old pervert......"

The two young women in the front row, the more they talked, the more outrageous they became, and Tian Wenjian was moved to the point of unprecedented anger at their insults to the old man. But thinking that they were all women, and they were fellow villagers, they had to suppress their anger and close their eyes without saying a word.

"How can you survive this nine-hour journey!" Long curl said.

"yes, what's going on with the broken family." False eyelashes echo the voice.

"There's no way, I haven't been back for several years, and sometimes I'm quite homesick."

"When I go back, I regret it, I think it's a bittersweet education, and when I go back to the city, my fighting spirit will be even stronger, so let's go quickly......" The woman smiled knowingly, her voice frivolous and dissolute.

Tian Wenjian sighed lightly, grabbed Xiao Na's little hand, and ignored it. The two women were still talking as if no one was around. The content of the conversation focused on the "work" that the two were engaged in in Shanghai. There is both an exchange of experience and a competition of skills, and when it comes to the proudness, I can't help but be complacent and very proud. It can be heard that their performance is very good and the harvest is abundant...... Finally, Tian Wenjian heard clearly, the two women who are like flowers and jade, and the work they are engaged in in the city is "Miss Sitting...... Escort girl.

Tian Wenjian felt very sour in his heart, and his sorrow was like a boulder, weighing heavily on his heart. Because, they are obviously their fellow villagers, and they went back to Binnan County in the same car.

Could it be that the two girls in their prime were forced by life to sell their youth helplessly? Or is it chasing the glitz of the material and the city, cruelly cutting off one's soul? Tian Wenjian was puzzled. Although he had seen a lot, he still couldn't connect them with his hometown, which suddenly became distant and strange.

The bus was still crawling in the bumps, and Tian Wenjian, who was trapped in his memories, felt his body temperature rise on the left side of his body. When I looked down, it turned out to be Cortana's saliva. Tian Wenjian slowly took out a tissue and carefully wiped it for her. And the long curls that were still cold on the side of the eyebrows just now, I don't know when I fell asleep. And, leaning down to the side of the old man's body in the hallway.

She must be too tired, otherwise, she would never let a disheveled bad old man have such an unexpected "affair", Tian Wenjian felt a little ironic, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

A young passenger is elated, showing off his new Chinese pager to his companion. From the outfit and expressions of him and his companions, it is clear that they are a group of migrant workers at a city construction site.

A migrant worker holding a BP machine reads the weather forecast he has just received. Although the reading was incoherent and there were some white words, Tian Wenjian listened with great interest, and secretly thought that if it wasn't for his parents who worked hard to send him to college, he might be one of them.

At this time, another young man also joined in the fun, holding up the magazine without a number in his hand, and couldn't wait to say: "Hehe, look at this paragraph, it's interesting, I will read it to everyone: laid-off female workers don't shed tears, walk to the nightclub with their chests straight, show their thighs and back, and don't rely on the political axe to rely on society; There is food, play and tips, my life has increased dozens of times, the governor and mayor sleep with me, who said that women have no status. ”

The wonderful "speeches" of the two guys were like a flavoring, which attracted a lot of discussion and laughter. From time to time, he glanced back at the two young women, as if he wanted to seat them down. Tian Wenjian was happy, and couldn't help laughing.

The young lady, who was sleeping soundly on top of the old man, was awakened and looked at everyone blankly. The old man, who had been afraid of alarming the sleeping lady on his side, maintained a motionless posture, was finally liberated, stretching his numb arms in the narrow space.

The young lady gave the old man an embarrassed look and smiled apologetically. The old man rubbed his arm, then lowered it as if nothing had happened.

The noisy carriage quieted down a little, and someone began to heckle and provoke a new round of topics. Tian Wenjian thought sympathetically in his heart that these simple villagers in the mountains were not only extremely poor materially, but also lacked spiritual life. Perhaps, only on such occasions can they vent to their heart's content and enjoy unrestrained pleasure.

The long-distance bus suddenly turned off and happened to be in front of a hotel called "Changxing Hotel". The driver, with a beard on his face, slapped the hood heavily and shouted, "The car is broken, everyone get out of the car." ”

The passengers were silent, but motionless. I don't know who is muttering, dissatisfied that the bus breaks down in front of this restaurant every time.

"What can I do? This broken road and broken car are not bad! "The driver was impatient.

The honest passengers still have no intention of getting off. Although no one dared to openly resist, they protested with silence. Cortana was awakened, rubbing her eyes wistfully, wondering what was going on.

"Let's go down to the bathroom." Tian Wenjian stood up and helped Xiao Na to squeeze out of the car.

It has entered the mountainous area, surrounded by strange rocks and different peaks, the forest and sea are verdant, the cliffs are steep and rocky, and it is quite imposing; Under the afterglow of the sunset, it is just like the smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River, the scenery is charming, and the landscape is lovely.

The mountains stretch as far as the waves of the rolling sea. The scattered villages resemble clusters of flat boats in the valley of sparkling waves. In the depths of this almost isolated mountain, a small mountain village of more than a dozen families in the distance is like a button, tied to the chest of the mountain. A river at the foot of the mountain is finally whimpering, as if it is chattering about the hardships of the day.

Looking at the surrounding scenery, Cortana exclaimed, "It's so beautiful! ”

"The mountains are beautiful, and the people are more beautiful." Tian Wenjian glanced at her with a smile, pointed to the toilet on the right side of the hotel, and said, "Go quickly, you will have to queue up when the people in the car come down." ”

"Yes."

The car broke down as an excuse, just to get the passengers to spend money in this restaurant. It's just that the simple and kind fellows, it is not easy to make money by abandoning their families and businesses, sweating beads and falling eight petals, and they would rather squat under the car and eat dry food than dare to take a step into the restaurant. Tian Wenjian and Xiao Na didn't go in either, not because they were reluctant to spend money, but because they were worried that the food in the roadside shop was unhygienic.

Ten minutes later, the driver, who was full of beards, scolded and scolded on the road again.

The pale blue undulating mountains, one on top of the other, stretched endlessly to the far end of the sky, disappearing into the misty depths of the distant mountains. The vast, deep, and endless forest sea, reckless and vast, layer upon layer, surging with boundless green waves.

Beautiful view, see Cortana fascinated. At six o'clock in the afternoon, the car finally entered Binnan County, where the folk customs and the tranquility here made Tian Wenjian excited. Finally, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, away from the intrigue and impetuousness, I returned to this land that has lived for more than ten years and is almost isolated from the world.

"Xiao Jian, here! We're here! ”

As soon as the car stopped, I saw a young woman holding the child and waving happily. Tian Wenjian reacted, hurriedly pointed to the young woman in the parking space, and said with a smile: "Wife, my sister is here to pick us up, get out of the car." ”

When the sister and brother met, they were very enthusiastic, Tian Wenjian hugged his little nephew and kissed him hard, and before he could introduce him, Tian Wenjing, who was wearing a dark green dress, greeted with a smile: "Xiao Na, are you tired on the road?" If it weren't for your brother-in-law's busyness, we would have picked you up. ”

Although it was the first time they met, the two had seen each other in photos, and Xiao Na saw that Tian Wenjing recognized herself, so she hurriedly walked up obediently and said with a smile: "Hello sister." ”

"A girl from Peugeot, our family is really a blessing."

At this time, a man about thirty years old, grabbed the car keys and ran over, pointed to the Santana outside the station, and said with a smile: "Let's go out and talk about it, I'll help you carry the luggage." ”

Tian Wenjian hugged Haohao and turned his head, and introduced with his eyebrows fluttering: "Wife, this is our brother-in-law Liu Yonghong, he is the one who always tricked me into giving love letters to my sister when I was in junior high school." ”

"Hello brother-in-law."

"It's all a family, don't be so polite. Grandpa and Mom and Dad are waiting at home, so I'll talk about it when I go back. Liu Yonghong waved his hand, and walked outside the station with his luggage in advance.

The words "tax inspection" are brushed on the car, and at first glance it is a private use of the bus. Tian Wenjian circled around Santana, and couldn't help but smile and asked, "Section Chief Liu, have you been promoted?" ”

"What officer? The car was borrowed. ”

The county seat is not large, and it takes less than ten minutes to arrive at the family area of the IRS. The grandfather and parents who entered the city yesterday were already standing outside the family area and looking forward to it. Outside was not the place to talk, and after welcoming the two into the living room, Tian Wenjing and her mother invited Xiao Na into the room and let the men talk in the hall.

Of course everyone is happy to bring a daughter-in-law who is like a flower and jade, but Tian Wenjian is a person with a criminal record, and no one will be at ease if he returns home before he has been a soldier for a year.

The father didn't say a word, and sat on the sofa and smoked vigorously. The brother-in-law served the tea and water, and there was a hint of worry between his eyebrows. The grandson is the heart of Old Man Tian, he doesn't care so much, he pulls Tian Wenjian and asks long and short questions, and asks when they will get married.

"Dad, let's get down to business first."

Father Tian Qianqian finally couldn't help it, pointed to the civilian clothes on his body, and asked worriedly: "Xiao Jian, are you a soldier or a guerrilla?" How did you come back so soon. ”

Tian Wenjian turned around, took out four certificates of merit and three military merit medals from his luggage, put them on the coffee table, and said with a smug smile: "Dad, plus the one with the local political axe, your son and I have made four third-class merits, didn't you embarrass our Lao Tian?" ”

Demobilized on the spot in Factory 315, the good news of meritorious service can only be sent to Factory 315, and cannot be sent to hometown like normal soldiers. Tian Qianqian is a person who has been the village party secretary for half his life, and there are not 100 but 80 soldiers sent into the army in his hands, and his previous experience makes it difficult for him to accept his son's words, so he even brought reading glasses to study the authenticity of the award certificate and military merit medal.

Old Man Tian was happy, pointed to the military merit medal and laughed: "In the end, it is my grandson, either he does not make meritorious service, and he is four." It's much better than when I was back then, and I worked hard to make a small contribution. ”

"Grandpa, you are a war merit, one top ten, or your old man is amazing." Tian Wenjian patted his arm and complimented him with a smirk.

"Yonghong, you can help me take another look." My father's reading glasses were funny, and he lowered his head to look at the award certificate from the lens, and raised his head to look at people from the frame.

After studying it, brother-in-law Liu Yonghong nodded and smiled: "Dad, it's true, Xiao Jianzhen has made meritorious contributions." ”

"Dad, you are really, you don't even believe in your own son, who else do you say you can trust?"

Tian Qianqian gave him a roll of his eyes, and said angrily: "Isn't this worried about you?" ”

"Don't say it, don't say it, ask your daughter-in-law to come out, I'll give her a red envelope." Old Man Tian couldn't wait for a long time, and while hurriedly touching his pockets, he pointed to the awards and military medals on the coffee table, and said with a childish smile: "You put these away, and I will take them back after Ming'er, so that Chen Erdan and them can see my grandson's appearance." ”

As Pepper expected, her mother was very kind, didn't talk much, always smiled, and smelled of disinfectant water, so she knew she was a doctor when she smelled it. Tian Wenjing went to college, and even her husband talked about it by herself, and she was very cheerful, all of which made Xiao Na no longer have the nervousness she had before.

Under the laughter of everyone, she had to call her grandfather with a red face and accept the red envelope handed by the old man. As soon as this head opened, it was out of control, and Tian Wenjian's parents and sister and brother-in-law sent meeting gifts one after another. Although there is no legendary family heirloom, that stack of red envelopes made Cortana feel the enthusiasm of the Tian family.

Before dinner, Cortana finally finished distributing the gifts she had brought back. The old man held the purple sand teapot given by his granddaughter-in-law, couldn't put it down, and praised her for being sensible.

The food is home-cooked, and the wine is the grain and wine produced by the county winery, but the family eats with relish and enjoys it. The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors. Brother-in-law Liu Yonghong put down his chopsticks and said with a helpless wry smile: "Xiaojian, I have already done all the work you asked me to do, but my grandfather and parents are unwilling to go, you can figure it out yourself, right?" ”

"What do you think?"

Tian Qianqian reacted, stared at his son, and said seductively: "Your grandfather is old and reluctant to leave home, if he didn't know that you were coming back, he wouldn't even want to come to the county seat." Your mother and I don't have any burdens now, we can eat and drink everything, and I really don't want to go to a place where we don't know each other. ”

Seeing her son's depressed look, her mother hurriedly comforted: "Xiao Jian, you and Xiao Na have a good relationship, don't bully others." Besides, isn't it a fashionable two-person world now? We won't bother you. Come back to see us during the holidays, and make a call if you are busy with work. ”

Tian Wenjing patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "With me and your brother-in-law here, what else is there to worry about?" ”

It's hard to leave your homeland! Tian Wenjian sighed, nodded heavily, choked up and said, "Sister, brother-in-law, I will leave the family affairs to you." Call me if there's anything you want, and don't hide it from me. ”

"Don't worry, what can you do with me?"

Liu Yonghong knocked on the table, looked at Xiao Na beside his mother-in-law, and asked with a smile: "What about your business, you have to come up with a charter as soon as possible." ”

"Getting married is a big deal, not a joke. Xiaojian, what are your plans? Tian Qianqian nodded, looking deeply approving.

"Cortana's work is in Jiangcheng, our house is in Jiangcheng, and my work will be in Jiangcheng in the future. So...... Therefore, the marriage must be married in Jiangcheng, but you don't want to go over, so you can only do it in three times. I'm going to come back during the Chinese New Year and invite friends and relatives at home. ”

Tian Wenjian looked at the delicate Xiao Na, and continued beautifully: "Jiangcheng wants to set up a banquet, please invite the leaders and friends over there." Then go to Cortana's house and ask her relatives. ”

"That's fine."

Tian Qianqian pondered for a moment, and said thoughtfully: "Your mother and I can't go out, and we can't go without a representative at home." Yonghong, why don't you take a few days off and go with Wen Jing to help Zhang Luo and Zhang Luo. Hao Hao stayed at home, and your mother and I took it. ”

"No problem, our unit is not busy anyway."
